CC,
I read the link you posted....waiting to get Dai's opinion.

Dai_trying · 2018-01-23 11:08

That looks like it could work, wish I had found that before

CaptNoize · 2018-01-23 14:33

I will try it later...I'll let you know the results

crosscourt · 2018-01-23 18:13

Im very familiar with Ubuntu but couldnt test this with Q4OS so wanted to get more opinions first.

Hope it works out.

Here's food for thought. My older machine running Q4OS Orion 1.8.8 works fine with the Thunderbird addon Nautopolis. All links function. It's a 32 bit machine. It's the HP Pavalion with 64 bit architecure with Scorpion 2.4 that's giving me trouble. I need to try the fix CC posted. Will let you know later the results.

Gotcha

CaptNoize · 2018-01-25 00:52

Tried all the "fixes" in the link you sent me, CC. Deleted Thunderbird profile and renamed another profile.....no avail. I can just copy the link,in the browser,then open it. It's a "pain",but it'll have to suffice.

crosscourt · 2018-01-25 00:54

Thats crazy, dont understand why that didnt work.

CaptNoize · 2018-01-25 01:30

I'm totally perplexed....I'll just deal with it.....ugh..! Orion functions fine,this 64 bit version is giving me trouble..

I posted your issue with some of my tech buddies at another site and they are going to see what they can figure out. They too didnt understand why the last fix didnt work.
Ill post back if something comes up.

Thanks, I appreciate it..!

I wanted to tell you, the first time I right clicked on the link,(to open link in browser) I worked...but only once. That's why i 'm perplexed.

crosscourt · 2018-01-25 03:50

Thats really odd........

jackdanielsesq · 2018-01-25 07:47

At first blush it sounds like classic HDD failure, but on further review its more akin to a very recent run-in
I had with Mint - it went on for years - several installs, different FS - even my favorite RFS, and cut several
DVD, on different brand media even - same old problem - it simply misbehaved, albeit erratically, mostly.

Many years later, after several CDROM failures, I went USB ISO - same Mint ISO - problem solved - baddabing

Bad install media - DVD in this case, all of them - I toosed hundreds of them recently in the bin ...
I remember years ago all my MS XP backup DVD failing after a couple months - NERO ??

Maybe delete, zero that partition, try a couple different test installs - TB has been one of the best/stable apps ever

Regards

Jack

PS - I just checked my TB/FF link - it woiks, so no need to call my Congressman or special counsel or CDC ... yet

PPS - is your mouse misbehaving? - try a different one

One more thing you could try, if you set the browser in Start -> Settings -> Control Centre -> TDE Components -> Default Applications -> Web Browser to Firefox (or the browser you want to use). It might need a log-out/in (or reboot?) to apply the setting, but might help...

CaptNoize · 2018-01-25 10:53

Dai,
I tried that suggestion ( one of the first) awhile back. And Jack, I would agree,but, this all functioned at first install. No problems. It was after I added the Nautopolis add on that it quick working. I've uninstalled,reinstalled it, I've made sure that all the config.editor settings were correct,deleted mime types.rfd, to re-establish, and changed my TB profile....still the same. At this point,I'll just live with it. I put up with an ex-wife complaining for years,this is nothing....LoL..! Someone at Mozilla will find a solution.

jackdanielsesq · 2018-01-25 14:34

I have changed countries to get away from the dreaded growler - got to keep my beloved TB, though
Cant help but believe your add-on was merely the trigger that caused another event

This FF is still stuck on Swede speelchecker which drives my Google a/c sign-in nuts [for maintenance]
Fixed it in TB, but cannot fix it here ... like you, have done everything sane/logical
I didnt even d/l anything ... it just appeared ...uninvited, one sunny day

Were there any revisions/bugs/reports on your particular TB add-on, at the original TB source ?

Maybe someone back at the Deb & Ian Ranch has a weird sense oh humor

Regards

Jack

No reports,Jack....just what I've already tried.

jackdanielsesq · 2018-01-25 16:26

Baddabing - HP has been a PIA for eons - ever since Carly Fiorina/Compaq deal
We will never buy another HP anything, ever
Same goes for Sony - terrible QC
Seriously - give HP a holler

Must be bad - even the FBI reportedly has problems with Samsung phones!

Cant wait for the DOJ/FBI to start printing Hawaii birth certificates
